We performed a comparison between HashiCorp Terraform and SUSE Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Configuration Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
"Intune's unified endpoint management platform is invaluable."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"For the price, the features included with Microsoft are appealing."
"I like the fact that it's integrated with the rest of the Microsoft products, so customers can manage it from their Office 365 portal or Azure portal."
"As the solution is a software as a service, the scalability is unlimited."
"The biggest thing for us is enforcing logins only from devices that are managed by Intune."
"It is helpful for managing devices anytime and any place without requiring dependency on the local networks."
"It is a stable solution."
"One of the most valuable features is that it offers the ability to create a VPC, Virtual Private Cloud and VPN connectivity to the VPC can be automated without having to do it manually."
"It allows for the abstraction of the work away from the developer into automated processes."
"The feature "Terraform Plan" is the most valuable in HashiCorp Terraform as it allows us to see the differences between the current infrastructure and the one we are about to deploy, keeping things safe. Additionally, we appreciate the use of the modules as it helps in making the application scalable."
"It is easy to recreate an exact duplicate or output of an environment."
"With Terraform, you don't need to understand the console of your cloud providers. You only need to understand how Terraform works, and you manage your infrastructure tools in Terraform."
"The solution allows us to work faster with ease and to set up new environments and workspaces."
"The most valuable features of Terraform are leveraging public modules for EKS, KMS, and ECR."
"SUSE Manager helps to optimize operations at a reduced cost."
"The setup is straightforward."
"When it comes to managing both Red Hat and SUSE environments, it provides the support for live patching, which is something I really, really appreciate."
"SUSE Manager is the best solution for maintaining the Linux environment"
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"I have a lot of Apple products in my environment. It would be nice to have an improved integration of Apple products with Microsoft Intune without Jam."
"There can be delays in the deployment of new policies."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Apple products."
"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."
"The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time."
"It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner."
"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."
"The integration with this solution needs to be improved."
"I still struggle a bit when configuring VPNs when we have multiple rules. If we have five or six virtual private clouds and we have to give rights between those multiple VPCs, we can have big problems. I think it was a learning curve and then we improved it."
"When a misconfiguration or drift occurs, fixing the issue can be difficult. For instance, if there is a change in API calls while a script is running, it can be challenging to make corrections. This may require additional review and modifications to the code. I recall an instance where an industry budget creation process was altered, and it took significant time to amend the code. In fact, I had to add five or six different script portions to resolve the issue."
"The error logging could be better. Sometimes, when you try to set something on Terraform, it gives you an error, but you don't understand how the error has been logged."
"It should have a more object-oriented approach like different coding languages."
"Community tech support could be a little better."
"The solution is missing a lot of properties for specific resources."
"This solution could be improved by adding features such as CDM to accelerate the access of data by the users."
"It can be complex and difficult for users who are new to Linux and don't have any technical expertise."
"The initial stage is a bit complex, but after that, everything runs seamlessly."
"We sometimes have server issues and need to restart the service."
"I really would like to have a broader library of VCP's or playbooks that I can deploy."
